We are getting legally married the week before we leave but we aren't telling anyone and just going to consider our Mexican wedding as our real wedding day. It just seems easier to me to do it that way.

of course! People do it all the time!! If you do a search tons of girls have done it-they call it their "legal day"...we are doing it because my family can't travel and I still want them to see me get married. We are doing it very low key

WOW! THanks so much for sharing that! That makes me feel way better about waiting until the last month to hammer out the details. At least they have procedures in place for when the date nears, even though it feels like you aren't even sure if they are expecting you!

Has anyone waited until they get back from the honeymoon to actually do their "legal day?" I sort of want to wait until after the religious ceremony to do mine. Also, has anyone actually planned their Dreams Tulum wedding without the help of a Travel Agent? The one I am currently in contact with is...dare I say...slower than the onsite WC at Dreams!! I'm getting responses faster than her! =P

My fiance and I are waiting until we get back for two reasons. 1 I just really want it to feel like the real thing when I walk down the aisle/beach and 2 we are getting married in Dec. Its so close to the end of the year that it just makes sense to wait until January to do the legal stuff b/c my fiance makes a lot more money than i do and i might as well wait one more year to be taxed at his tax bracket. Nice reason, right? Ha!! Anyway, we're doing it a few weeks after we get back. I figure if we did it 'legal' in Mexico it would take several months to be legal in the US so its still quicker!!!

Well to answer two questions with one post... It does seem easier to get married before you get to Mexico - but I just as well want the actual walk down the isle to be THE ACTUAL walk down the isle of becoming a Mrs...I hope to not regret that choice with all the details that wil need to be done in the 4 days before
